Udupi, Apr 6: Congress on Saturday, April 6 expelled All India Congress Committee (AICC) member Amrith Shenoy for a period of six years for anti party activities.
Shenoy had filed his nomination for Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency as an independent candidate on Tuesday, March 26. Pramod Madhwaraj is the candidate of the Congress-JD(S) alliance in Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency.
Shenoy, an aspirant for the Congress ticket in the constituency was unhappy that the seat was offered to JD(S) despite the Congress having a better chance at winning here. Pramod Madhwaraj had tried to pacify him, but even though he expressed happiness over Madhwaraj's candidature, Amrith Shenoy did not relent.
